Cool video. Did you take it? Hopefully she got some help and was okay.

thebuckstopshere · Dec 20, 2006

disturbing. lets hope whomever took the video either set her free of put her down, whichever was more appropriate.

ktc · Dec 20, 2006

I was also curious as to what happened?

tbsh, I highly doubt the photographer could "put her down" in a residential neighborhood on an ornamental fence

I looked through the rest of the pictures in the album and it shows one picture from the back and you can see how she got hung up. It wouldn't take much of a push to get her off of there, hopefully that is what happened. They is also some real nice elk photos also.

I might get type slapped here, but that is not a doe boys!!! And personally based on the photo I would have shot him then took the picture. Pretty disgusting in my opinion to take the picture while alive (regardless of animal type).

canhunter · Dec 20, 2006

That fence looks like a lot of the rural small cemeteries you see out in the country.

brushstomper · Dec 20, 2006

canhunter I think you are right about her being a him from that picture. I still think it wouldn't take much to get him off of there so he can grow a little more. Looks like his right leg is a little bloody from thrashing around but should heel up just the same.

canhunter · Dec 20, 2006

I also looked at the video also and still think it is a buck and a cemetery. I may not immediatly kill him, and maybe he could be lifted off and make it with several people.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-20-06 AT 05:44PM (MST)[p]Im with those saying not a doe.

My thought on putting the deer down were only if it was impaled on the fence. Otherwise, gotta try and get it free. It appears it was not impaled. No easy call - especially if residential (though the photos look not so res). Quick call to authorities maybe. At least they could put it down or sedate if need be.

One of my family members saw a huge buck this summer in a residential cemetary. This family member does not know too much about deer, but she said one looked like a 4x4 and the other had too many points on each side for her to count. I woulda loved to have had a photo.

We found a fawn caught like this little buck on a fence a few years ago. I was going to get in my stand for some archery hunting, when my wife heard some squealing. We found a fawn with it's back legs hung up on the top wire. I put my jacket on it's head so it could't see me, then I flipped it up and over the wire. It's back legs wouldn't work any more so I picked it up and took it into an oak patch about 30 yards away. It's mother was there stamping her feet watching the whole deal. I don't know what became of it, but it was gone the next morning when I went back to check on it.
I know you would probably get the crap kicked out of you on a larger deer, but there are ways to make it happen.

Hope that he makes it!
I was alone and he was very hard to get off the fence.

I've been in a similar situation, only instead of jumping the deer (doe and yearling buck) had squeezed through 6" gap in the wrought iron and wedged at the front of the pelvis. In that case, a hi-lift jack turned horizontal made an improvised "spreader", the gap was cranked wider and the deer slipped through.

canhunter,
Don't know how you do things in your neck of the woods but if you think that it was disgusting to take a photo and quick video (with same camera) while trying to figure out how to get him down. Guess I should have grabbed my rifle and started blasting away!!!!! In a cemetary none the less! I don't own a cell phone so I did what I thought was right.

brushstomper · Dec 23, 2006

Good work there Mountain Hunter! Hopefully those legs started working again soon. How did you get him off of there? Thanks for posting the pictures and doing what you could. Brushstomper

MOUNTAIN_HUNTER · Dec 26, 2006

How did you get him off of there?

Well it was a little difficult first I tried from the rear end and that wasn't gonna work cause all his weight in the front. So I had to get over the fence then grabbed him by the ears and put my shoulder under his belly and lifted him off then set him down. I think that his hips where pretty sore. So I just left him alone to not stress him out any more. I'm sure that he got his feeling back in his hips and hind end. Still need to go and check though. I thought that I was going to get kicked to crap but that didn't happen and I was greatful. Was out trying to find some coyotes that morning. Only found a few fresh tracks though. Oh well next time.
Later,
MH

Chances are his back is busted. He probably turned into dog food. You all had better give some serious thought to helping any deer out that is caught. A fawn, maybe, a grown deer, never. mess you up. As far as the quick call to the authorities, yeah right. The call may have been quick, but the response seems to always leave a lot to be desired. Good job MH, glad you didn't get your self hurt.

Good thing that little guy didn't try to navigate through the fence one opening to the right. He might of had his manhood shish-kabobed on an iron skewer. Ouch!!!!!

now that hurt!

crimedog · Dec 28, 2006

We had a small nubby buck

stuck in between the fenc posts between our house and our neighbors growing up. The little guy tried to get through and couldn't. It took 4 of us to pull him through. Aside from loosing alot of hair, he was ok. But he sure did not like it very much and was kicking the entire time.

RE: We had a small nubby buck

MountainHunter - my hats off to you. At first I thought you are one sick dude to film him dying. You made a distinguished effort to free him. That took guts. Thank you. Did he survive? How much time passed from the video until you got him off the fence? Thanks again for freeing him. You redeemed yourself in my eyes.
